“Yes, he has a great voice and a great talent. We look for him to go to great places in the future. So we have him and we have the Generation Now, and, of course, many of us in the Congressional Black Caucus also had our emerging leaders come up from our district that we sponsored; mine, attorney Mark Hodge and Natalie Humphries, also of Generation Now, the last person. So that was exciting. Our opening session, of course, featured our Chairs, including my colleague here, Mrs. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones, but also Chairman Rangel, Chairman Conyers, Chairman Thompson, and of course, our whip, Jim Clyburn. That was a very, I think, powerful way to start off a conference, a weekend that was all about power. It wasn't only about power in the Congress, but it was about a power in our community that is still really untapped and unleashed. We could really be agents of change for our community and our country if we were to really come together and use the power that is ours.”
